Heyif anybody is till folloowing this Jimmy is still around but given his \advanced years still palying (I think).His stuff of recent years was amazing given his age how swingin' it was.Some guys NEVER lose it.But put this up to mention Charles Earland "The Allimighty Burner".A great player who started latter in 60's and who recvently pased away was great as a B-3 player,teacher mentor etc.Check out fis LP/CD "Living Black" with of all people Grover Washington who plays amazingly staright ahead and in the pocket.But that LP is abosutely greasy and damn funky to boot!Latter check out the Earland comping on Eric Alexander's "Alexander The Great" on Soul Note.Earland was right up there with Smith,McGriff,Johhny"Hammond" Smith,and other greats when "Kickin' the 3"
